Washington (CNN) Transgender athletes in Mississippi's public schools and colleges will no longer be allowed to compete in women's sports after the state's Republican governor on Thursday signed the first statewide anti-trans law of 2021.
SB 2536 is the first anti-trans legislation to be approved by a governor this year, with similar bills percolating in statehouses across the country and one such bill currently before South Dakota's Republican governor. Advocates of the bills have argued that trans women have a physical advantage over cisgender women in sports, while critics contend that they're discriminatory, including the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest LGBTQ rights group.
"This important piece of legislation will ensure that young girls in Mississippi have a fair, level playing field in public schools," Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said at a signing event on Thursday.

Hopefully more states follow.
“Cisgender,” the terms these people make up.
I’m Superstraight.
The manipulation and twisting of language is always the first step in the leftist effort to brainwash people. It makes insanity sound acceptable and harmless, especially to “low-information” types. The left trades in degeneracy as a rule, but uses a slew of euphemisms to hide the reality behind their agenda. “Gay”, “choice”, “sexual orientation”, “undocumented”, etc., etc., etc.
Ya’s wanna be duh goil, d’en jus’ cut d’ose t’ings off!!
Iffen ya’s ain’ta doin’ d’at, ya’s ain’t needer’n ya’s ain’t good tuh nobody!
Wouldnt this be a pro-women law ???
The author misused cisgender.
There is no prohibition on lesbians competing in women’s sports.
It means normal. Substitute normal for “cisgender” and the freaks freak.
The left really, really hates women.
This is SO mean!
First pro woman athlete law
And conservatives let them.
It’ll be overturned by a Marijuana question added to the ballot...

What do you mean?
“Anti-trans” is another term for pro-sanity.
Turn off the TV.
Okay, your comment sent me looking for a compendium of social justice warrior* words.
* Odd, isn’t that thirty-somethings who live in their parent’s basement, but still use the term “warrior.” I hope, that one day they might run across a real warrior and he takes Umbridge at their insults.
>>There is no prohibition on lesbians competing in women’s sports.<<
For many like basketball I thought it was a requirement.
You are exactly right - It is pro-women - the anti group are just gaslighting when they say otherwise.
In days gone by some people used to think they were Napoleon - we placated them but never adjusted our life to coincide with there life.
Today we have people who think they are different than how they were born - why do we have to adjust our life for how they think or feel they are?
